Carotid Angioplasty & Stenting
It is an intervention which cures clogged carotid arteries of a patient in order to treat stroke. The carotid arteries are the main arteries which supplies blood to the brain. They are located on either sides of a human neck.
The procedure deals with inserting a balloon in the artery in order to widen it open. It also deals with placing a small metal coil known as the stent so that the artery remains wide enough and free from any blockages.
It diminishes the chances of the artery becoming narrow again and consequently restricting the blood flow. This procedure is only undertaken in the cases where the traditional means of carotid surgery becomes too risky or practically impossible.
